• Show HN: BeelineBench – How well do decision models solve multi-step problems? · score 7.5

  BeelineBench is a benchmark for evaluating how efficiently decision models solve multi-step planning problems by scoring how directly they navigate to a solution. It uses a best-first search harness across seven domains (e.g., sliding puzzles, Blocksworld, Wikipedia navigation) and compares model performance against classic heuristics, random choice, and an oracle. The project is well-documented, configurable, and integrates with custom model APIs, making it a valuable tool for AI planning research.

• Show HN: Read My Room – which bass problems in your room EQ can't fix · score 5.3

  Read My Room analyzes exported REW frequency response measurements to identify room acoustic problems and recommend EQ and treatment solutions. It runs entirely in the browser, correlating peaks with room modes from user-supplied dimensions and estimating absorption quantities. The tool makes acoustic analysis accessible to audio enthusiasts without expensive software.

• Show HN: Problems – see where agents get stuck using your product · score 5.3

  Problems.dev is an observability dashboard for AI agents, showing call volumes, error rates, and grouped errors by operation and source. It helps developers identify where agents get stuck when using their product. The tool provides a focused view for monitoring agent interactions.
